Mira Zest No Water Flow

[pquguitar]

Hi, I have just bought a brand new Mira Zest Shower.
There is no water flow at all, I have followed all the instructions.
* Could there be a problem with the flow valve or could there be an electrical problem.

My old shower was a Mira Sport, it was not heating and the L.E.Ds didn't light at all when you turned on.

Please Any Solutions.

Are there any LED's on the new shower illuminated? If not have you checked for voltage at the shower?

Isolate the circuit at the CU and then open the pull cord switch. Have a look for burnt or loose cables.

Seems like you may have a high resistance joint and that's the most likely place.

It's not uncommon to find the switch or contacts burnt out.

Hi, there are no LEDs on the new shower but the light on the pull chord is lighting and the unit is getting power.

The switch is lighting and the new shower seems to be getting power, should I still relpace the pull switch?

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your help. Replaced pull switch and it did wonders.

Thanks

Ok.

To clarify.

With the shower isolator pull cord switch on, the neon in the pull cord switch illiuminates.

When you turn the top control on the shower to any position but stop the water does not flow.

Is that correct.

When the top control on the shower is set to Low, Medium or High does the neon in the pull cord switch go dim or go out?

You say you have power to the shower, how are you measuring this and what voltage are you getting?

Is the bottom control dial properly set, i.e. has the valve on the shower unit been turned down and then the cover plate with the dial been fitted out of alignment so that it's shut right down.

Finally is there an isolator valve in the water pipe to the shower, is it installed the right way round and is it on? If there is no valve can you crack the union to check that water is coming through.

It is also possible that the inlet filter may be blocked, this can happen if the old joint was taped and the tape gets into the pipe.

Bu**er.

You posted while I was typing. Glad you fixed it.

So in all probability there was nothing wrong with your original shower

Anyway, glad you got it sorted.
